Sheathed pencil diathermy using a Jaques catheter

Optical Tracking using Line Pencil Fiducials

In this paper, a new pattern based optical tracking method is presented for the recognition and pose estimation of input devices for virtual or augmented reality environments. The method is based on pencils of line fiducials, which reduces occlusion problems and allows for single camera pattern recognition and orientation estimation. Pattern recognition is accomplished using a projective invari...

Diathermy haemorrhoidectomy: reasons for a therapeutic choice.

BACKGROUND Diathermy haemorrhoidectomy is an effective technique for the management of 2nd, 3rd and 4th degree haemorrhoids. The anal cushions are excised by use of diathermy without ligature of the vascular pedicles. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of this technique. METHODS Between September 1999 and September 2003, 84 patients with 2nd, 3rd, and 4t...

Short-Wave Diathermy

A good estimate of the value and interest of this book would be for one to attempt to review the large volume of literature on the subject of the development and uses of shortwave diathermy, which the author has studiously done. He has gleaned the rapidly accumulating published work of the past decade, previous to which little or nothing was written on the subject. An extensive bibliography is ...

Tungsten disulphide sheathed carbon nanotubes.

An insulated nanotube wire is formed by the binary phase of layered tungsten disulphide and carbon nanotubes (shown in the HRTEM image) generated by the sulphidization of tungsten oxide coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes at 900 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the tungsten disulphide coat acts as an antioxidant.
